I'm starting to think breakfast isn't for me.

Unless I'm really busy, I find eating an early meal just makes me 'hungrier' all day. I'm literally counting down the minutes 'til lunch from about 30 minutes after eating. It's gotten to the point where if I'm eating breakfast at 09:00, at 10:30 I'm ...

That is one of the concepts promoted in "Eating Less." The less we fight the urges and just accept that they are there (without giving in to them, of course), the faster they will go away (or lessen).
